I Write Like...

I know these have been everywhere and they aren't particularly accurate, but I can't help being a little pleased that they think I write like Oscar Wilde.

According to them, who do you write like?

Biblio Travel

While getting ready for my latest trip, I found a new website that helps me pick books related to the area. I love reading both fiction and nonfiction books set in the place I'm traveling to and this site is a great one. Before heading out to San Fran and Portland, I read the following books and I might take Isabel Allende's Daughter of Fortune along to read while I'm there.

-Tales of the City by: Armistead Maupin
-Blue Moon Over Thurman Street by: Ursula Le Guin
-A Crack in the Edge of the World: America and the Great California Earthquake of 1906 by: Simon Winchester

Book-A-Minute Classics

Who knew dramatic classics could be so funny. When I need a quick laugh, I love looking at the Book-A-Minute summaries of classic novels. I wouldn't read any of the summaries for books you haven't already read though, because there is usually a spoiler.

Here's a few examples...

Huckleberry Finn
By Mark Twain (Ultra-Condensed by David J. Parker

Huckleberry Finn: (Goes rafting. Goes home.)


THE END

The Catcher In the Rye
By J. D. Salinger (Ultra-Condensed by David J. Parker)

Holden Caulfield: "Angst angst swear curse swear crazy crazy angst swear curse, society sucks, and I'm a stupid jerk."
